This community got removed from lemmy.world (again) - Divisions by zero
lemmy.dbzer0.com
This is another post that alerted me of this. https://lemmy.world/post/13287681 [https://lemmy.world/post/13287681] And here is the modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity [https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity]

This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

    Considering how well voting has turned out in general, maybe the voting system is the issue.

      You know, I don’t even disagree with you. Voting really doesn’t bring any good to the table, it only creates some sort of hive mind mentality

        Plus it allows users to anonymously express disdain towards somebody, not just to their comment or opinion but them personally I’ve seen this happen on Reddit where people were mass downvoted for seemingly no reason other than being openly trans/queer.

        It only gets worse when you use that as a reputation system for restricting users because then it’s a social credit system.
